Description

'Godzilla' is an acrylic on canvas, finished with a UV varnish. The canvas measures 40 x 40 cm.

Somewhere between urban writing and academicism, Antoine Gamard has fun highlighting the links he sees between 20th-century energy and graffiti aesthetics.

His canvases often feature representatives of the animal kingdom, set like a surrealist collage against an urban backdrop woven with graffiti. It's a dreamlike world he depicts, in which wonder at Creation clashes with our own contemporaneity.

Wild, civil, free, it's above all his way of showing that's important to the artist. While each series can be read independently, they all have one thing in common: transfiguring aesthetic experience into Beauty.
